Here’s a real curve: Instead of accusing more major leaguers of using performance-enhancing drugs, Jose Canseco wants to help baseball deal with the lingering fallout of the sport’s steroid era.

The former Bash Brother hopes to meet with commissioner Bud Selig and union head Donald Fehr to discuss his plan to help baseball move away from the steroid issue and make it “the great sport that it is.”

“I think I have the ear of the nation now,” Canseco said yesterday. “I think everyone realizes I have not in any way, shape or form tried to create smoke and mirrors like Major League Baseball has and the players have. I have been excruciatingly honest about what’s going on in baseball.”

Major League Baseball said it was willing to listen to Canseco’s offer.
